Game activity/game detection suggestion.

So currently the Discord app will try to detect the game you are playing or for games that don't get detected you can manually detect it via game activity & the app will display the game status & with the Go Live feature being rolled out, will allow you to stream the game. However this isn't 100% effective as it cannot guarantee the app will detect the game, even manually as that is just a list given to us based on it's current detection & not us linking the app directly to the file location.

Unfortunately, if the game is being altered in any way, for example Minecraft with mods, Discord can't guarantee how it'll detect on their app. Forcing that detection will likely be the only way to do so at this time. So when playing Minecraft with mods you have to manually detect the game but when the game is launched again you have to delete it from the game activity list then re-add it for Discord to detect it again.

My idea is a system like Logitech (& some other companies) use with their mouse software, so we add the games .exe to the game activity list & then when that .exe is launched the Discord app would detect it & be able to display the game status & allow for the Go Live feature/overlay & any future features to work regardless if the game is being altered like using mods, in the same way these mouse software allow us to set our dpi on a per game basis.

So in theory this would allow us to add all games & use the app features with no issue. I think this would be a viable solution in the future.

I spoke to Discord via Twitter DMs & they think it's a cool idea, so now what does the community think of this idea. It's not an end of the world problem but I think a good quality of life update.
